The best answer for this question would be:

That Emerson in the essay “Self-Reliance” truly believed in individualism. He wanted his readers to know that trusting in oneself can go a long way, than blindly following someone’s idea that you don’t actually appreciate. It is important to be misunderstood along the way, because it creates countless of opportunities.

the need to always be consistent.
He believe that A greater mind will always follow their intuition rather than listening to the opinion of the lesser intellectuals. He is saying to not be worried about being consistent with a previous idea because in the pursuit of knowledge,mistakes will keep occurring.

Read this excerpt from The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, and then answer the question that follows. When Dorothy was left alone

Greeley [361]

The point of view that is used in the excerpt The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is a third person. Third person point of view uses pronouns such as he, she, it or the name of the person. I would like to highlight the wprds that makes it a third person point of view.

When Dorothy was left alone she began to feel hungry. So she went to the cupboard and cut herself some bread, which she spread with butter. She gave some to Toto, and taking a pail from the shelf she carried it down to the little brook and filled it with clear, sparkling water.

So form the sentences that I chose above, the pronouns that were used are Dorothy, she and Toto.
